Horns XXIIIHORNS XXIII

The sky is awake and roaring. There is no rain, but I can smell it in the air. Soon there will be a storm, but even now, in the open, there is danger.
I crouch down, resting my head over my forelegs. My eyes are small and weak- especially with the sky darkened by the clouds, but I can still see the silhouettes of the young ones in the dueling circle, not far from where I lay.
I can hear them challenge each other; see them swing their horns, each proclaiming himself the strongest and most handsome.
How easy they forget! I am still here. Do they think I can´t hear them and smell them from here? The ladies are looking at

Otodus vs Palaeophisby ~HodariNundu

Traditional Art / Drawings / Animals

Dos monstruos marinos del Eoceno se enfrentan: una serpiente marina gigante Palaeophis ataca a un Otodus, tiburón gigante posiblemente ancestro del Megalodon.
Aunque los restos de ambos animales son fragmentarios, se han sugerido longitudes de 5 a 10 metros para Palaeophis y de 9 a 12 metros para Otodus.
¡Esta tiene que ser una de las escenas mas locas que he dibujado!

An Eocene sea monster face off: the giant sea snake Palaeophis attacks an Otodus, a giant shark and the possible ancestor to Megalodon.
Although the remains of both beasts are fragmentary, lengths of 5-10 meters for Palaeophis and 9 to 12 meters for Otodus have been suggested.
This is gotta be one of the craziest scenes I've ever drawn!

though i agree with the technicality of the comments of it and the realistic reference may not be a strong factor i still think it is frickin awesome

i am overwhelmed by the epicness of this piece

I think the shark would win, frankly. A snake constricting a fish is pretty futile, you can't push all air out of the lungs when there are no lungs to begin with...Perhaps if it wrapped the gills?? Plus, snakes bodies tend to be easily injured, one could be bitten in half by the shark just as easily as a modern person can sever a snake in half with a well aimed shovel.

Well, aquatic snakes don´t really constrict fish, they sometimes do wrap around them but mostly to hold them still. Of course that would only work with a smaller fish and maybe they would have to be in the sea bottom, and I agree that a shark is too much. Don´t seek much realism in these scenes tho... its about the epicness of the concept rather than the likeliness :>

~Pristichampsus May 10, 2012 Professional General Artist

Maybe the snake was pregnant and just wanted the shark to stay away...

Bad move then...

Well that's one of the coolest prehistoric battles I've ever seen! By the way, what are whisker-like things on the Palaeophis' snout?
